Brief summary (registry, in English)
This is a pilot study of randomized clinical trial of Parent Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (PACT) vs. an attention-control condition (placebo) for improving the mental health of parents of children with pediatric feeding disorder. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two programs in parents of children with pediatric feeding disorders. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * PACT will result in clinically meaningful reductions in Mental Health(MH) problems among parents of children with Pediatric Feed Disorder (PFD) * Identify factors that impact the feasibility of PACT delivery * Participants will asked to participate in one of two programs focused on parents of children with pediatric feeding disorders. * The participants will also be asked to complete a battery of questionnaires at four timepoints during the study. * The parents will be asked to video record a meal time twice during study. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the PACT group with a control group to see if PACT will result in clinically meaningful change in parent stress and anxiety, and parent use of positive mealtime behaviors.
